Additionally, as with other Apple Wallet services, users can block a lost or stolen device via ‘Find My iPhone’. By contrast, standard RFID cards are notoriously easy to copy and clone, or replicate – while there are often long delays in revoking access for a lost RFID card.
✔ Economical, efficient and more environmentally-friendly. Using Apple Wallet passes reduces the cost, administration and impact of producing, issuing and managing large numbers of plastic RFID cards.
✔ Communication to users. Push notifications can keep users informed and updated via their iPhone.
RFID cards are widely used for door access control, club membership, and many other contactless ID applications. Apple has defined templates for common types of wallet pass, including: boarding passes, event tickets, store cards and coupons. Always mindful of ensuring the highest levels of customer experience, Apple will check and approve each application to issue NFC passes.
In addition to general-use Wallet passes, Apple also has dedicated options for storing digital keys (for car, home and hotel) in Apple Wallet as well as student ID and mobile driving licences.
